Reduced Radiation Dose in Diagnostic Radiology
which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Within the past 20 years, the radiographic examination in the medical field has increased by a factor of about 3 to 5 times, while the total radiation dose has increased by a factor of about 200-400. This has ascribed to the rapid increase in CT usage (1). T...
متن کاملDesign of Light Multi-layered Shields for Use in Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine via MCNP5 Monte Carlo Code
Introduction Lead-based shields are the most widely used attenuators in X-ray and gamma ray fields. The heavy weight, toxicity and corrosion of lead have led researchers towards the development of non-lead shields. Materials and Methods The purpose of this study was to design multi-layered shields for protection against X-rays and gamma rays in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. In this...

متن کاملIranian physicians\' knowledge about radiation dose, received by patients in diagnostic radiology
Background: Although ionizing radiation is widely used to diagnose many diseases, the relevant hazards are known to be as an important limitation of its application. It is believed that the awareness of ionizing radiation dose values is one of the main stages in patient's radiation protection. The purpose of this study has been to investigate the level of physicians' knowledge about radiation d...
متن کاملMonte Carlo computation of dose deposited by carbon ions in radiation therapy
Background: High-velocity carbon ion beams represent the most advanced tool for radiotherapy of deep-seated tumors. Currently, the superiority of carbon ion therapy is more prominent on lung cancer or hepatomas. Materials and Methods: The data for lateral straggling and projected range of monoenergetic 290 MeV/u (3.48 GeV) carbon ions in muscle tissue were obtained from the stopping and range o...
